About Detention
Detention is an unique atmospheric horror game heavily influenced by Taiwanese/East Asian culture (Taoism and Buddhism references) based on the 1960s Taiwan under martial law.
With simple point and click mechanism, the player control characters who venture into the school beset by hostile supernatural events to uncover stories behind the haunted place.
Incorporated religious elements based in Taiwanese/Chinese culture and mythology, the game provided players with unique graphics and gaming experience.
[ Features ]
- Story-driven atmospheric horror game.
- Unique Taiwanese/Eastern cultural references.
- Original soundtrack fusing Electronic, Lo-Fi, and Rock with traditional Asian instruments.
- Appealing graphics and sound inspired by Taiwanese literature, film and music in the 1960s-70s.
- Single player 2D side-scroller with point and click mechanism.
- Multiple language support. (including English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean)
[ Recognition ]
"A heavy dollop of Silent Hill, it’s a horror game unlike anything else I’ve played."
- Adam Smith, Rock, Paper, Shotgun
"Every facet of Detention moves in one harmonious lockstep towards an unavoidable tragedy, drowning out the world around you."
- Destiny Maddox, Rely On Horror
"The art direction, atmosphere, and audio design are all very well done. It has a polish you don’t often see in adventures by small teams."
- Andy Kelly, PC Gamer
